Current evidence seems to indicate this!. I think it comes from the same part of the brian!.
I do however think that with enough training and willpower, we can actually choose what we prefer!.
P!.S @yaoi: Why do people have to bring objectivism into everything!? It's not a philosophy its a social/economic theory which is capitalism's equivalent to Marxism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Just as the pleasure-pain mechanism of man’s body is an automatic indicator of his body’s welfare or injury, a barometer of its basic alternative, life or death—so the emotional mechanism of man’s consciousness is geared to perform the same function, as a barometer that registers the same alternative by means of two basic emotions: joy or suffering!. Emotions are the automatic results of man’s value judgments integrated by his subconscious; emotions are estimates of that which furthers man’s values or threatens them, that which is for him or against him—lightning calculators giving him the sum of his profit or loss!."

"Man has no choice about his capacity to feel that something is good for him or evil, but what he will consider good or evil, what will give him joy or pain, what he will love or hate, desire or fear, depends on his standard of value!."
